1997 honda accord vtech 4dr f22b1

i got my first honda about a month ago, took off the cat and someone hollowed it out, the o2 sensor was fried. i read that i can put a resistor in the socket and it'll trick the comp, and a noon-fowler spark plug bolt, i just want my check engine light to go off so when it does go off i know to check it, and its annoying.

 

Thank you for starting a new thread.

I haven't looked into this very much but I believe what you do is install a anti-fouler in the hole that the cat goes in and then install the O2.

I will have to assume that you can find a thread that matches the O2 sensor

Keeping the O2 sensor out of the stream of exhaust makes it register less unburnt fuel.

I do not see the need for a resistor.

I am going to guess that not a lot of people on this board have much experience with this as most of us here, myself included, run all stock cars.

 

I recommend installing an aftermarket converter and new O2 sensor.

That said, a antifouler can be installed but must be drilled out w/ 1/2" drill to allow O2 sensor to penetrate. This works most of the time, but not always. Some even stack two antifoulers; one inside the next to back the O2 sensor further out of exhaust stream.

I used this scheme on a 99 Subaru Forester that returned a P0420 1 year after replacing the converter, at a cost of $250 bucks. It worked in that case.

good luck
